" uiieRovEMi-:NT IN f Cincinnati, Hamilton county, Qhio, have invented a new and useful improved of whichlthe following is a specification. y

..Zictufr'c and Objects of the Invention. This invention relates to th'e class of. warn1air vplaced in` schools, churches, or. require warming; and Y ssts in the application to such stoves of' a `peculiarly-constructed,` exposed tank, for containing water, whose evaporation will 'maintain the atmosphere of thelroomat` a vuniform and agreeable temperature and hygrometric condition.

Operation.

'.lhe i cold'lair, after entering through plate O and opening B, is heated 'to a proper temperature by be# ing brought into contact with the sides ofthe stove A, after which the'(uow heated) air escapes from the apparatus intogthe'room through the central openings L ofthe water-tank.

it' escapes through the opening L, is brought in cox" tact with both ot' the inclined inner sides of tank AK watere'scapes directly into the room-without passing through pipes of' anyki-nd, the. lapartment is' heated with air of aua'greeableand healthy temperature and moisture. 'Y As soon as the room has become suicientl y warmed, the supply of air can beshut oif, by rotating the scend and close the opening L, the rotation of the damper being facilitated by the handle r.

My tank, being situated outside of the damper, enablest-he discharge of warm air'to be entirelyshut otl' without interfering withthe evaporation of water in` v said tank directly into the room; and, as the latter is always exposed, the attendant can see at a glance when it requires replenishing. i

Insteadof the imperforate damper, a register may be substituted therefor, having radial openingsthrough which the air can escape.

In iig. 1, the smoke-pipe c is supposed to project horizontally from the `ferred, it can be varranged so as to passup through the water-tank, as represented in iig. 3, the tank being, in such case, only a'segmen't of a circle. In order to prevent the heated air escaping directly to the ceiling, and to project the said air laterally and a number ot' radial arms, l, that converge toward downward into the room, I may provide a detleetingfrom which projectsz nk, whenever saidv y be ot' any desired or-` pants of the room towarm attached to the The heated air, after leaving the stove,- and before which causes the evaporation` of 'the water contained therein", and, as the steam or vapor arising frourthis damper Itin such a manneras to compel'itto deback of the stove, but, if prel plate or disk, lV, fig. 4, upheld a suitable distance above t-he top of the stove, by rods X, and said stovetop may be Aprovided with a revolving register, Y, or

lothery suitable register or damper, aud with either a 'central water-tank, or with an annular or segmental tank, as above described.

I Claims.

I claim herein as new, and of my invention- 1. The exposed water-tank K It L, forming the top and discharge of the shell or easing of the stove, subtantally as shown and described, for the purposes set orth.
